Case Study -Burman Coffee 

Problem

Burman Coffee was struggling with their organic search rankings and traffic. They were also too busy to continue running their Google Ads and wanted an agency to help.

Goals

Burman's original goal was to increase their organic search rankings and traffic, and hand off their Google ads management.

Solution

We ultimately revamped their entire digital marketing strategy by starting up Facebook Ads from scratch and by switching their email marketing to Klaviyo for smart automation. Their organic traffic and sales shot up, and we helped them reach higher returns with their Google Ads.

Facebook Ad Performance

Customer Lifetime Value

We did some additional business consulting to crunch sales data to discover Customer Lifetime Value. We discovered that 77% of Roaster buyers go on to purchase other products, which gives a great strategy to long-term customer and sales growth.
Kathie Burman

“Burman Coffee Traders has been in business since 2002. We began working with Eagan and his team approximately 1 year ago. In that time, [they] helped us set up a new email marketing tool that helped us grow our new prospect list to over 1000 contacts.

Eagan also reviewed our sales data to calculate our customer acquisition lifetime value which helped us recognize that 77% of our roaster buyers go on to purchase coffee beans and other products from us.

Lastly, our success manager, Caroline Wahlen, has gone over and above by learning to roast her own coffee at home! She truly tries to understand our business and thus writes very effective Facebook copy.

We like working with everyone on the team and highly recommend them.
